After the confrontation between Gatsby and Tom in the NYC hotel room, Daisy and Gatsby drive back to East Egg together in Gatsby's car. When they pass the Wilsons' home/ business, Myrtle runs toward the car because she believes it is Tom driving the Rolls Royce, since she saw him drive it earlier that same day with Jordan and Nick as passengers. George intends to take her away from New York, and she is frantic. It is actually Daisy driving, as Nick later learns from Gatsby, and Daisy accidentally swerves and hits Myrtle, fatally injuring her. Daisy does not realize Myrtle is the woman Tom has been seeing, and Gatsby tells Nick that he intends to take the blame for the accident if the police trace the car to him.
